Official 2014 Packers Training Camp Thread

[pbmax]

Saw a Packer player today taking part of the training table at Five Guys in Green Bay.

Because there is absolutely no news, try to guess who.

First hint, less than 5 years experience in the NFL.

Tozien?

Mike Daniels

[wist43]

Well, since just about the entire roster has less than 5 years experience - could be anyone ;)

[hoosier]

I'm having trouble figuring out what the Packer to be named later actually did. Did he eat a bunch of stuff on the table? Was he participating in training someone? Or did he just take the table and leave? Anyway, my first guess is Randall Cobb, because his last name is vegetarian and I don't associate him with burger joints.

[pbmax]

None right so far. Though wist makes a solid point. This young one plays on offense.

[Fritz]

Derrick Sherrod, eating Five Burgers at Five Guys?

[Pugger]

Let's play 20 questions:

Is he white or black?

Is his number less than 50?

[hoosier]

Derrick Sherrod, eating Five Burgers at Five Guys?

No, Max specifically said the guy plays on offense. What's his name, the anonymous TE, would be my guess. Taylor. Except would anyone actually recognize him?

[Zool]

Cobb

[Patler]

Abbrederis.
Everyone has gone home before training camp. Last opportunity to visit family until next spring.
For Abbrederis, Green Bay is virtually home.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Let's get to the important question: Did he pull a hammy, get a concussion, mess up his thumb, or have a neck injury while at Five Guys?

[Brandon494]

Obviously Ryan Taylor

[red]

eddie lacy, obviously trying to bulk up for training camp so we can all freak out over how fat he looks again

[pbmax]

All great guesses. But none of them correct. I take offense to the intimation that Derek Sherrod doesn't play offense. I did not specify whether the mystery diner was a starter. :)

Two more hints:

1. He is not a hometown/state boy.

2. He has less than 3 years experience in the League.

To answer one direct question: He does not appear to be injured. He seemed to eat dinner without incident.

[denverYooper]

Boykins

[Patler]

Tretter. MM said he hasn't left town all year.

[Pugger]

Harris?

[run pMc]

I like the Tretter and Taylor guesses. I'll go with Bahktiari. OL can put away burgers and nobody would notice. Wouldn't think it would be a racehorse like a WR, and Starks cut gluten out of his diet.

[Brandon494]

Yea it has to be Tretter then...I picked Taylor because of the double chin. :-)

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nfl/players/full/14213.png&w=350&h=254

[pbmax]

None right so far.

He matriculated on the West Coast. And he had a dining companion.

[Brandon494]

Datone Jones?

[pbmax]

Datone Jones?

Offense.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Rodgers

[bobblehead]

Arod...with hottest chic in GB as his companion (similar to tallest midget)

[denverYooper]

Colt Lyerla

[Guiness]

Who is Davante Adams?


edit: Lyerla - good one DY, I forgot about him. Saying he martriculated is a reach though - I don't think Colt was ever a candidate for a degree!

[denverYooper]

He was enrolled, at least :).

An article about him early on stated that he was staying with his trainer, who helped keep him on the straight and narrow -- the dining companion at the training table.

I'll guess Ina Liaina. Dude looks like he can tackle a burger or two.

I was trying to get an angle on the 'with a companion' but couldn't find one. None of the West Coast guys are married, so good catch!

[pbmax]

Colt Lyerla

Lyerla it was. He is listed as 6' 4" but did not seem that tall. Not all that big, though he is a rook. He might have been there to put on weight.

Had a companion for dinner who looked like a team flunky (not even a former player). I wonder if they try to keep tabs on him as part of a player services program.

In this humble reporters opinion, he also made a poor choice in his car.

[hoosier]

In the old Soviet Union that flunky was known as a handler. Someone whose job it is to make sure that Lyerla doesn't go off the deep end after he has a few burgers in him and start tweeting about how the Russian separatists in Ukraine are getting shafted by the Western media.

i dont know how the rep points work but if i'm allowed to give them then i'd throw down for this post... well played hoosier!!!! is 25 rep points too much?

Players always look smaller when you see them in person. Colt is a grow ass man, I'm sure hes able to go eat dinner by himself without someone keeping tabs on him. :-) I'm sure its just someone he met since coming to GB and they were just having burgers. Hopefully he just finished working out after eating them.

[Brandon494]

Offense.

I'm guessing it had tinted windows and rims.

Buddy clearly wasn't a football player unless he was kicker. A little too old not to be a known vet. He was doing the talking.

They were conversing about something that happened to players in Washington but I had no context. Was genuinely trying to NOT pay attention.

[pbmax]

I'm guessing it had tinted windows and rims.

And the music it was playing loudly and thumpingly. OY!

It was a late model remake of a muscle car. Not the prettiest job Detroit has done. Windows were probably tinted and it had sizable rims, but those might have been its two best features. I am sure the car is fine, just not my favorite model.

Prob a Mustang, Camaro or Dodge Challenger?

[Guiness]

Prob a Mustang, Camaro or Dodge Challenger?

Those would be the three suspects, all the NA automakers seem to have a bad case of Throwback Tuesday. Dodge is also making a Dart, but it's hardly a replica!

[pbmax]

It was either a Challenger or Charger I think.

[pittstang5]

It was either a Challenger or Charger I think.

How many doors? 4 = Charger, 2 = Challenger

[Joemailman]

Physicals are tomorrow. Is everybody more or less healthy, or are there candidates for the PUP list? Wondering about guys like Nick Perry and Jerel Worthy who did not take part in OTA's. I know Matthews didn't either, but there's no way he'd be placed on PUP.

[pbmax]

That's the beauty part of the Packers, non-football injuries (usually done while training for football) are complete unknowns until the day after physicals.

[pbmax]

How many doors? 4 = Charger, 2 = Challenger

It was orange :lol:

That was all the look I got.

YOU NEED TO BE LATE TO THE PC MIKE TO FIND THIS STUFF OUT. WILDE CAN WAIT.

[bobblehead]

Hmmm...did it have a black 01 painted on the doors and a confederate flag on the roof?

[pbmax]

Nope. This car could have fit inside that car.

Might just look that way. Seems shorter. Probably taller.

Neal practiced through the spring. Perry did not. Not the way #Packers wanted to start camp. First practice is tomorrow AM.

GOOD TO KNOW SOME THINGS DO NOT EVER CHANGE. NOW MORE CONFUSED THAN EVER OVER FRUSTRATION ABOUT MISSING THE ENTIRE OFFSEASON IF PERRY NOT HEALTHY.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 23m
I forgot to mention that DT Jerel Worthy is on non-football injury also. So, it means it's not related to his knee injury. #Packers

UH-OH. ANOTHER CHILLAR OR WAS HE DOING WHEELIES ON HIS BIKE LIKE JEFF KEMP?

[pbmax]

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 16m
Two #Packers who were not put on any lists were LB Clay Matthews and TE Andrew Quarless. Both missed all of the off-season workouts.

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 54m
In the case of Janis and Guion, non-fb means they failed their physical due to something they did away from the facility. Janis is illness.

[pbmax]

Here is the shorter, more readable version from Demovsky:

Rob Demovsky ‏@RobDemovsky 1h
#Packers roster update:
PUP: Nick Perry, Mike Neal
Non-football injury: Letroy Guion, Jerel Worthy

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: 2014 training camp. I know I'm excited. Everyone has been buzzing around here all week. Coming off offseason program, good vibe

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Every football team is unique, especially at this period of time. We have 89 men on our roster. Battle starts. Looking for competition

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Coming out of offseason, we had chance to mold football team. This is our most important time of the year. Have to get information

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I haven't seen Clay Matthews personally. Players went for physicals this morning. Staff meeting at 4:30. Info will be presented

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: You walk away from offseason program. I look at big picture

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM on his address to team: It's important to have clear vision, a tight vision of things we need to push envelope on. Like our roster

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: We probably spend too much time on it. You have 2 tighten it down. Video is always better. Hopefully i can deliver talk that can deliver

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM on not listing pad practices: Talking to training staff, we are going through a different sked 2nd half of camp. New in-season schedule.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Your goals will be in pads. That's thought but really how team moves through camp...looking back, we haven't started way we wanted to

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM on no practice before/after preseason game: This is 1st time schedule has changed in nine years. 3rd year we talked about it. Taking leap

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: GPS is something we've had in the building for 3 years. That's a part of data. We have another man coming forward that will impact team

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: It's important for us to take a hard look by position and player, do we have enough personnel groups, variation.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I'm nervous about it. We have 21 practices. We spent a lot of time up in the staff room. 35, 29, now down to 21

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Preseeason games last three years have been a challenge because we've leaned toward evaluation more than winning

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Opportunity for 3 QBs comes down to how the 3rd potential QB performs and what goes on with your football team.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I'm not opposed to keeping 3 QBs. It really depends on the competition of other positions.

[pbmax]

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Running football when you have to is of most importance. I'm excited to see what DuJuan Harris is going to give us

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: This OL IMO has chance to be best that we've had in my time here

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I actually haven't seen Pat McKenzie in quite some time. We're still open to that. Jermichael Finley is a Green Bay Packer IMO

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I don't care what business you're in, you hope you are right with projection. When Ted sits down with our staff, it's about performance

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I like our experience on OL. I like our core with our two guards. I know JC it's his first time. I was impressed with Linsley

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Can't say enough about Don Barclay. Derek Sherrod looks good. You have to feel good about depth on OL

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM on TE: I like our tight ends. We have to get them pad work. That's such a tough group cuz they're asked to do so much.

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Hitting targets, this the 1st year i feel like I got offseason program right. Veterans did a great job of getting practice part right

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: You project your reps and how you're going to play guys, it's a real challenge trying to get whole team evaluated

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I don't think you can ever jeopardize your personnel evaluation. You have block of time to make decisions and you don't get that back

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: That KC game is a critical game for our players. Can't tell you how many times you go into last game of the year and it changes

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: Give our S and C staff credit, I like Mark Lovat is unique. Take a lot of pride that we don't have to do conditioning after practice

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM on tackling: In games? We better tackle in games. No, our tackling drills, we've adjusted them, timing of them

Wes Hodkiewicz @WesHod · 7h
MM: I feel like I can improve. When you stop feeling that way, you're lying to yourself. Halftime thing, I don't know how long

[pbmax]

What's up with Neale? He finished last season healthy, didn't he? Bet it's a weight room injury...

He not only finished last season relatively healthy, he made it through the offseason and OTA program without a blip.

[Joemailman]

He not only finished last season relatively healthy, he made it through the offseason and OTA program without a blip.

But if he's on the PUP list then the injury has to be related to football. An aggravation of a previous injury? An injury during the physical?

No idea. Dunne at JSO thinks we'll know more tomorrow.

[Guiness]

No idea. Dunne at JSO thinks we'll know more tomorrow.

Maybe he was in charge of the projector and burnt himself on a lightbulb? Those suckers can get hot!

[Fritz]

I am really crossing my fingers for Derrick Sherrod. If he can get through camp healthy and get re-acclimated, he could be a really strong backup left tackle, and maybe even challenge Bahkteria down the road a bit.

[denverYooper]

He not only finished last season relatively healthy, he made it through the offseason and OTA program without a blip.

I thought he was on the injury report with an abdominal injury for several games at the end of the season.

[denverYooper]

McCarthy on injuries/non-participants:
Neal - abdominal/core
Guion - hamstring
Worthy - lower back
Perry - foot/knee
Janis - illness

Worthy with a lower back injury. Not usually a great sign for one of the bigs.

[Brandon494]

Hoping Janis will be ready to go on Monday.

[pbmax]

I thought he was on the injury report with an abdominal injury for several games at the end of the season.

Yes, but why was he practicing then in the spring?

[pbmax]

Wes Hodkiewicz ‏@WesHod 1m
While Mike Neal and Nick Perry are 'close' to returns, #Packers continue to wait on defensive lineman Jerel Worthy http://pck.rs/1mQomUW

Also, only one Packer hamstring.

http://www.sherv.net/cm/emoticons/hand-gestures/my-fingers-are-crossed-smiley-emoticon.gif

[pbmax]

But his attitude is TERRIBLE!! He only played to help facilitate a trade to a team that will let him realize his dream of being an Defensive End in the NFL!!


Perry missed five games last season with a broken foot, but played in the team's final six games (including playoffs) despite fellow outside linebacker Clay Matthews saying he probably shouldn't have.

Worthy with a lower back injury. Not usually a great sign for one of the bigs.

Looks like the usual suspects. Neal just got a new deal. Any chance perry and or worthy aren't on the team at final cutdowns if they cant get their shit together for a change?

McCarthy After Practice #1

Tom Silverstein ‏@TomSilverstein 7h
T.J. Lang was working through some shoulder things.

Packer Report ‏@PackerReport 7h
MM on Matthews playing everywhere: He's an impact player. Want to create targeting problems with him.

Tyler Dunne ‏@TyDunne 7h
McCarthy on Hayward: I thought Casey stood out today. He's back. He's so instinctive with his ball skills.

[Fritz]

How the hell did Worthy eff up his back?

And nobody's saying a thing about Perry's foot/knee/whatever injuries. Or why McC is so angry, seemingly, with him.

[Bretsky]

We need Justin Harrell (the poster) to head to practice to get a Sherrod report.


Report; hang nail; Sherry out for season

[Fritz]

Come on, Bretsky. Go watch some girl-on-girl porn; you'll feel better!

Ol' Sherrod is trying. If you want to grump on someone, Nick Perry might be a better target.

I'm getting to the point that all the girl-on-girl porn in the world isn't making me feel any better about Perry.

Wow. Did I really type that?

[bobblehead]

http://www.packersnews.com/story/sports/nfl/packers/2014/07/26/peppers-big-move-chase-catch-seahawks-ers/13224513/


The Packers think he can, and on Saturday, the first day of training camp, Peppers and Matthews lined up together for the first time. Matthews, who didn't practice all offseason while recovering from a broken thumb, played mostly at left outside linebacker and Peppers on the right side, though both lined up at varying spots across the front seven throughout the morning workout.

So base it sounds like Matthews on left, Peppers on right. That would have been Peppers most common spot as DE, so it makes some sense for him to start there.

[pbmax]

Same Peppers story:


Williams thinks the addition of Peppers and the "elephant" position, which will occasional deploy players such as Peppers, Neal and Nick Perry in multiple positions across the defensive line, is creating that same feeling.

If Perry is slated to spend time at elephant, then this might explain some of McCarthy's consternation.

[smuggler]

I will be very pleasantly surprised if Hyde becomes a solid/good strong safety. Cross those fingers!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I am really crossing my fingers for Derrick Sherrod. If he can get through camp healthy and get re-acclimated, he could be a really strong backup left tackle, and maybe even challenge Bahkteria down the road a bit.

Sherrod should beat-out Bahkteria for starting job or hang his head in shame. He's a first round pick with ideal left tackle size and strength. No more down the road. Either he has the heart and athletic ability for NFL or he doesn't.

[gbgary]

i guess the te rodgers made an immediate impression.

Agreed. If he isn't starting by the end of camp, he is a wasted pick.

[pbmax]

They are still hyping Bach. All the quotes are he is bigger and could start for 10 years. Unlike the Perry stuff, I could see how this is supposed to light a fire under Sherrod. But he is running with the 2s right now at Left Tackle.

Sean Richardson with the play of the day so far. Closes on Rodgers pass to Nelson over the middle for a physical interception. Hit and pick

MM doesn't discuss specificity of injuries, so unless the players talk, there won't be much info. All he said in his PC today was that they have a medical meeting at 4:30, so there might be more information tomorrow.

[Joemailman]

http://www.espnwisconsin.com/page.php?page_id=278

More on Sean Richardson:


Play of the day: Sean Richardson is trying to crack the safety rotation – for the first few days of camp, he was behind Morgan Burnett, Micah Hyde, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix and Chris Banjo – but the play he made on Rodgers’ pass across the middle to Nelson is the kind of play that moves you up the depth chart. During an 11-on-11 blitz period, Nelson appeared to be open but Richardson broke on the ball, arrived at just the right time and picked off the pass as he collided with Nelson.

“They brought the corner on a blitz, rotated the safeties and it was wide open in the middle,” Nelson said. “I kind of stayed on my cross, and I think I probably throttled [down] a little too much. We’ll look at it on film and see what it was, but obviously [Richardson] made a great break and took it right out of my hands. Give him credit for the play he made and holding onto the ball.”


Suggestion to everybody: If you don't like Justin's thread, stop bumping it up to the top by commenting on it.

I'd see Daniels as a waste in the base - I'd save him exclusively for the subpackages that we run a majority of the time anyway.

I don't want to see him getting worn down trying to anchor the end in the run game. Stick Worthy, Guion, or Thornton in there; hell, I'd prefer Perry in there over Daniels b/c Daniels is a more valuable asset in the pass rush.

It's early, and everyone is going to get some reps moving around; but I surely hope Daniels isn't a regular in base.

You know what, I have a feeling it's going to pan out this way as well. Burnett will play for a lot of years in the league, but he's not very good. He's just not bad enough to give up on.

Burnett has a lot of talent but he seems stupid. Watching the Bears game he made one phenominal game to break up a long pass and then went bonehead. I truly believe they need a veteran leader at that position to do some teaching. Whether it's bad coaching or they are just stupid....they need more direction

Nose tackle B.J. Raji looks rejuvenated. He's been getting excellent push on most of his one-on-one pass rushes, and in two different run-blocking drills (half line and one-on-one) the first two days he's pushed his way into the backfield several times

Sounds like an ACL.


Green Bay - The Green Bay Packers were hoping for the best but fearing the worst Friday on knee damage suffered by wide receiver Jared Abbrederis of Wisconsin Thursday in practice.

A source told the Journal Sentinel that the diagnosis of the team's medical staff early Friday morning was a torn anterior cruciate ligament. The team was awaiting results of more diagnostic tests to confirm their original finding.

The Packers made no announcement of the damage suffered by Abbrederis, their fifth-round draft choice.

"I haven't had time to sit down with the medical staff," coach Mike McCarthy said about 11 a.m. "Right now, he has a knee. He completed practice yesterday."

Last year, tackle Bryan Bulaga also completed the intrasquad scrimmage at Lambeau with a knee injury that later was discovered to be a torn ACL.

Abbrederis attended practice Friday morning with a sizeable sleeve covering his right knee. He was able to jog from the field to the sideline, but then mostly stood around on the sideline.

Abbrederis had been giving a good account of himself in the first five practices. He played bigger and stronger than advertised, and also projected to be one of the top two or three candidates to return punts. He had become a huge favorite of the fans at Nitschke Field as well.

One reason why Abbrederis slipped to the fifth round despite a record-setting career for the Badgers was the question of durability. Personnel people from two teams said he suffered three or four concussions at UW, although Abbrederis maintained he incurred just one. In high school, he suffered a broken right femur as a sophomore but made a rapid recovery.

At 6 feet 1 inch and 195 pounds, Abbrederis was one of the leanest wide receivers in camp. At the combine, he bench-pressed 225 pounds just four times, which tied for the lowest total of more than 300 athletes in Indianapolis.

That pretty much sums up whats wrong with our training staff

Dont know if the rook has a torn acl or not, but let him go out and practice anyways

Bulaga is allowed to play the whole scrimage on a knee injury that turned out to be a torn acl

That's a disaster. It's made strange, though, by the fact that Bulaga apparently didn't miss a single snap with the first-team offense despite suffering the injury and was even working on some special-teams plays later in the practice.

That doesn't sound like a guy who suffered a season-ending knee injury does it?

It appears Bulaga did play on the knee after hurting it. However, it's unclear when Bulaga told anyone on the training staff that his knee hurt.

"He moves well," quarterback Aaron Rodgers said. "Catches everything."

The passing game has always been the easy part for Richard Rodgers. He played wide receiver in high school before moving to tight end at California, where he bulked up to 275 pounds as a freshman and sophomore.

Last year, he lost 30 pounds to play a split-receiver position at 245. He's back up in the 270-275 range now and blocking as well as any tight end in camp, according to Fontenot.

"I've naturally just been better catching," said Rodgers. "I was a wide receiver in high school so blocking took some time. I'm still learning about blocking and hand placement and steps."

Neither Aaron Rodgers nor Fontenot thinks Richard Rodgers needs to lose any weight even though he ran a slow 40-yard dash time of 4.87 weighing 260 on March 18.

"I think I'm a conventional tight end," Rodgers said. "Playing receiver in high school and last year helped me be in the slot and be in space. I can play anywhere. That's exactly what a tight end needs to do in this offense."

Because I will never remember this.

Richard Rodgers freshman and sophomore: TE at 270 pounds
junior: split end at 245
combine: 260 and a 4.87 40

[pbmax]

Cobb as holder:


Backup plan: Ever wonder who would be the holder if something happened to Tim Masthay.

Wonder no more. It's receiver Randall Cobb.

"He's good," special teams coach Shawn Slocum said. "Randall is a good holder. He's got a good one-piece motion. Puts the ball on the spot. Mason (Crosby) feels comfortable with him. He did it in college. He's been our backup holder for a while."

It makes you wonder what would happen if the Packers used Cobb, their all-purpose offensive option, as the full-time holder. They would have the ability to run fakes and probably force the opposing team to limit its number of rushers to account for a possible fake.

Slocum intends to stick with Masthay.

Tough luck for Abbrederis. From what I'd read about Abbrederis' camp so far, it's unlikely they would have cut him, but part of me thinks this could be a blessing in disguise for him. He'll have time to get healthy, stronger, and well-versed in the offense. It probably hurts the special teams more than anything this year.
I've been getting the impression the last WR spot was going to be either Dorsey or White, my guess is they both make it (if they keep 6 WRs, which I think they will). I like Harper but think he ends up on the PS (or signed off of it). I suppose the injury helps out Janis' chances as well but I think he gets invited to join the PS too.

The quote makes me think he can be especially effective in the red zone. If he's a good blocker and can box guys out to make catches for TDs, he doesn't have to be particularly fast to give them flexibility there.

At times, the pass rush was heavy. "This is the best I've seen it," said DE Mike Daniels, referring to the first week. If play had been live, there probably would have been five sacks. LB Jayrone Elliott beat T Derek Sherrod and T Jeremy Vujnovich for sacks. Daniels notched one against G John Fullington and another against T David Bakhtiari. LB Adrian Hubbard beat T Don Barclay.


Davon House blanketed Jarrett Boykin for about five seconds covering multiple moves in one-on-ones, prompting Aaron Rodgers just to eat the ball.


WR Chris Harper's hands have been far too erratic. He dropped a 55-yard bomb from Tolzien behind the defense.

McGinn:


Perhaps as a nod to Davon House's strong showing in camp, the No. 1 dime included House and Sam Shields outside, Tramon Williams as the nickel and Micah Hyde as the dime. Williams had stayed outside almost the entire camp. Casey Hayward wasn't on the field. Brad Jones remained the only LB.

You have to have Hayward in dime, don't you?

[run pMc]

McGinn:



You have to have Hayward in dime, don't you?

Normally, yes. Hayward is a very good CB.
I see it as a reward for House, a rest for Hayward (easy on those hammies!), and a chance to see how that lineup performs in a non-emergency situation.

Not in the first half he didn't. And I think, but am not sure, they adjusted coverage toward Crab and away from Davis to compensate.

13 targets total, 8 receptions, 135 yds, avg 15.6 and long of 31. House did have 2 passes defended, but my suspicion is that he was the most targeted DB as well.

Oh. In school, I only learned about oblique triangles.
You're just being obtuse, right? Or is it a more acute problem?

Jordy has a hamstring. Not serious. Day tp day.

Rajion Neal not a long term injury.

It's called Packer Leg. He will sit out the next 2 weeks of camp, come back and try to play the last preseason game, re-injure the leg and miss the first month of the season.

Either that, or he will practice on Thursday.

Boyd has ribs. Hopefully he had the good sense to use Bobby Seale's cookbook. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61yFLEqpsfL.jpg

OR this will linger all freakin year.

It's the curse of signing a big contract. See Rodgers and Mathews last year.

And Burnett. On 2nd thought, maybe we shouldn't extend Cobb.

Carl Bradford received little playing time in the Tennessee game. He wasn't overly impressive in the snaps he did get. A lot of people think he'd be better on the inside--including some scouts in the article.

I just wonder if they are waiting too long to make the move. I felt the same way about Micah Hyde last year. I see his position being ILB in the NFL. I think long term he could compete with Lattimore or Barrington as a replacement for Hawk or Jones inside.

I don't think it's too surprising given his lack of experience standing up that going into the first preseason game he's behind the 2nd year guys who both saw a fair amount of action last year. He's got to bide his time, learn new techniques and earn opportunities.

I'm also not sure he has the range to cover on the inside. He's probably slower than Hodge was, who was a step slow inside. I think he'll be fine but it may take some time for the conversion. Eventually you'll be able to hide him out in the flat in coverage once in a while but you want that guy on the other side of the line of scrimmage chasing the QB more often than chasing guys in the slot downfield.

When Bradford was drafted, I immediately thought he was drafted for the inside. All reports from the coaches stated he was going to be an OLB, which left me scratching my head. Maybe this will turn out to be like Brad Jones - start at OLB, then move to ILB.

I think everyone thought he was targeted to inside given the scouting reports and team needs. But as I recall, the guys in charge saw him as a pass rusher.

I'd think you'd want to give anyone who was college passrusher with a 37.5" vertical a thorough evaluation rushing the passer before moving on to plan B.

I can't get too excited about how much or how little a rookie plays in the first preseason game, especially one who is changing positions and has a lot of vets to beat out.
